Wards in Color Bike Tour

     In April, my friend, Troy, will be starting an art-focused bike tour showcasing the Houston wards in all their glory.  The weather was just too beautiful not to do something outdoorsy, so Bryan and I decided to give it a test run.  This is how our day went:

Tour De Hood is not Troy's bike tour but we thought the background was rather fitting

I think the boys had way too much fun at the playground.

Discovered that Dan Havel and Dean Ruck of the sorely missed Inversion installation have another beautiful sculpture in the
Fifth Ward!

I was famished at the end of the tour.  Thankfully, there was Bohemeo's to save the day!

     I had so much fun on the bike tour. I seriously can't wait to do it again! Troy will also be operating van tours of the city. If you're interested in getting in on the action, you can find his upcoming events here.
